I've been reading a lot of posts on here and other forums about suspension. I've owned my van for over 2 years now and suspension was near the top of the list of things to do. So here goes!
Ever since owning the van its been a very harsh ride, I feel every little bump / hole in the road. Everything is amplified like I've hit a huge pothole every time. Even to the point that the bang will sometimes feel like the screens going to crack!
I have Vito 17" steels with standard tyres and I know the van has been lowered but I dont know by how much. Here lies my quandary. My question is where do I start? - do I replace front shocks and Shocks and springs on rear and guesss the spring (if its 40mm / 60mm) or should I look at those adjustable ones? However the whole thing will depend on the cost (as always! I also have a service including cambelt/waterpump etc to get done this spring). I've seen entire kits as cheap as £135 on ebay but I guess its a "you get what you pay for scenario" there?!
Could it be I can adjust something to make the ride less harsh for now? Any help or advice regarding this would be really appreciated.
